The first game of the geason will be played here next Wednesday evening when the New York Rangers will play an exhibition game against the Epringtield Indians at Hambly's Arena It is the earliest that hockey has been played in the city and the fans are promised a bang up game. With these two teams con- tinuing their pre-season Wwork- l outs in Toronto, with quite a number of new faces in evidence, §o that the competition for places on the team is creating plenty of interest among the players them- 1 selves, The. game here will give the management of both teams | a chance to pick out the best players and as both outfits are jowned by the same corporation nd as Springfield is a farm for he Rangers, tho game on Wed- hesday will be particularly im- | portant, in as much as players on he Indian roster who show to ad- antage will ir all probability be 'moved up to the Rangers for the on while some of the old guard may be dropped back.

Maroons Win in Golf Match Montreal, Oct. 24.--Forgetting the rigors of training for a day, Canadiens and Maroons, intracity professional hockey rivals of the National Hockey League, met yesterday on the golf course of the Forest Hills Club on the oc- casion of the fifth annual Cana- dien Hockey Club tournament, always the last major links event of the local season. For the second year in succes- sion, Maroons captured the For- um Shield, emblematic of the golf championship of the local pro teams, their team of Eas] Robinson, Lorne Duguid, Glen Brydson and d'Arcy Coulson hav- fog a team aggregate of 346 strokes, while the Canadien squad, made up of Howie Mor- enz, Wildor Larochelle, Armand Mondou and Pete Lepine, took 364.

Yester- day afternoon, he had the best gross score of the back nine holes at Lookout Point golf course, while "Ace" Bailey turned in the best card on the outward run. Conacher had the best gross score of 88 and Cotton the best net of 82. Last night, at the bowling alleys, the Leafs turned out fif- teen strong, including Harvey Jackson, to take on "Touch" Woods, champion transports, al- though they were defeated for the first loss they have sustained since they arrived in the Garden City, and met various rival squads in friendly encounters, Blair again led the pucksters with a three-game total of 661, being up a single on Charlie Con- acher with 660, Alex Levinsky, with his port- side trundling, took third place with 631, "Ace" Bailey being right behind him at 628, and "Hap" Day was forced to be con- tent with the next score at 570. Day's poor showing may be at- tributed to a nasty crack he took on the right forearm in the morning's lacrosse workout, when the players went at it ham- mer and tongs, without pads. When Sergeant Jack Cusack finished with them they were "hanging on the ropes," as the heavy air filled with haze was hard on breathing - apparatus. Clancy was the only absentee last night, being the orator of the night at the commencement ex- ercises of Thorold High School. Harvey Jackson stepped into the limelight in the afternoon, when he officiated at the kick-off posi- tion of the St. Kitts-Niagara Falls grid game and just natur- ally booted the oval from centre to the deadline, 80 yards. He was stepping high and offered to as- sist "King" Clancy when the lat- ter does the honors at the St. Kitts Bulldog-Grimsby Peach King tilt here, or sub for Char- lie Conacher, who threatens to explode the oval when he kicks it off in the titular game between the intermediate squade of Thor- old and St. Kitts at the mountain town. The rest of the Leafs are the guests of Ridley College on this afternoon at the annual little "Big Four' battle between the Orange and Black Ridleyans and Upper Canada. The Welland House is staging a Maple Leafs dance for the club on Saturday night and the week- end will be spent between rooms at the Welland resting up for Monday morning, when every one who can resurrect a gun will be out for pheasant day, Goldfish are merely the domes- ticated variety of Chinese carp. (INFORMATION, ee | "The satisfaction one experiences when, and after, smoking a pipe of Turret is most gratifying. In Turret pipe tobacco you have been unusually successful in preparing discerning smokers, both in quality and price-- therein, undoubtedly, lies the cause of its popular approval and demand: After an arduous session at the 'daily round' I find few pleasures to equal the fragrant, mellow smoke of Turret pipe tobacco. Those who smoke Turret pipe tobacco live up to that wise old Latin quotation: Dum vivimus viva: mus (while we live, let us live)."

Despite the hostility of McKeever, bitterly opposed to Robinson while the Eb- bets heirs supported the 64-year-old warrior, it is understood that a cash gitt of $10,000 was given "Uncle Robbie" along with his release, Robbie 64 Years OM Robinson, 64 years old and next to the last of big league survivors of the famous old "Baltimore Or- ioles" of 1895-6-7 that numbered John McGraw, Willie Keeley and Hughie Jennings in its membership, became manager of the Robins in 1914. Famous through baseball for his wit, round and fat and jolly, he has been one of the most colorful figures in the history of baseball. There was a possibility that he might land the managerial post with the Pittsburg Pirates, left vacant by the release of Jewel Ens or that he might continue in baseball as a scout for the New York Yankees or a pitching coach, the same job he left with John McGraw and the New York Giants, when he took over the reins at Brooklyn, His successor, Max Carey, is 41 years old, schooled in the modern style of play that came into baseball after Robinson's spectacular days as a catcher for the old Oriole s, Zaharias Hurt Lost to Roman Toronto, Oct, 24.--As sensa- tional an episode as has yet ter- minated a wrestling bout in To- ronto gave Mike Romano vic- tory over George Zaharias in the main event of the Queensbury Club's show at the Coliseum last evening. The end came with un- expected suddenness and in thrill- ing style after Zaharias had scored the first fall and was ap- parently on his way to victory. Attempted use of the flying tackle brought about his undoing and caused him to dive from, the ring with a force greater by far than any wrestlers who had left the fon. Romano had enjoyed a mo- mentary advantage, ent about heavily: back quickly after solidly, crashed sary with him. He attempted to repeat the manoeuvre, and in doing so dived high in the air. Romano straight- | ened up from his crouching posi- tion and his head hit Zaharias's body, increasing the momentum of the dive and sending the Greek giant hurtling over the top rope. Zaharias turned over in mlid- air, his back struck the edge of the platform and he crashed to the Coliseum floor with a sick- ening thud, his right arm turned under his inert body. Failing to return to the rink | within ten seconds, Zaharias au- | tomatically forfeited the second ! full. He was just as much unable | to return after the usual ten min- { utes' intermission. Romano being | awarded the bout to the cheers of the fans, who, not knowing whether or not Zaharias was in- jured, still harbored their "hate" of him sufficiently to cheer the man who had profited by the Greek "bad man's" Injury, Ottawa Players Are Holdouts Detroit, Oct. 24.--Alex. Con- nell, Hee, Kilrae and Alex, Smith, three of the four players obtained by the Falcons in the draw when the Ottawa Club. of the National Hockey League suspended, are hold-outs of the Detroit Hockey Club. They were in conference with Charles A. Hughes, president of the Detroit Club, for more than two hours yesterday and refusefl to accept the contracts that call for salary cuts. Mr. Hughes said the next move is up to the players. Yesterday had been set as the last day for players to come to terms. But the president has not given up hope. He intimafed that it would only be a matter of time until an a- greement is reached, "I gave the hoys our top fig- ure," he said, "and believe they will accept our terms after they study conditions." Four other players were miss- ing from the first practice session on the ice at Olympia. Reg. Noble, who has been given until Satur- day to report; Doug. Young, de- fence man, obtained from Cleve- land, Frank Peters and Jim- my Herberts.

He admitted that the youthful right-winger"s valuation of his ability was much higher than that of the managing direc- tos of the club and while there is quite a difference between the amounts cited by the two inter- ested parties, Smythe is certain that a satisfactory agreement will be reached early in the week, after his return to St. Catharines. "Charlie wanted a much big- ger boost in his salary than we consider he is worth at the pres- ent time," sald Smythe, "and we do not intend to he the only ones to gamble on what he does this season. We offered him a fair in- crease and if he comes through as he thinks he can then we will be perfectly willing to do some- thing for him at the end of the season. We are the only club in 'the circuit that has not reduced salaries this year. The boys did well last year and earned in- creases all along the line but with the new arena and condi- tions as they are, we cannot play Santa Claus. Most of the older players on the squad see our viewpoint and Clancy volunteer- ed to take a chance with us and nuggested a cut in his salary which will be given to him as a bonus if we reach the play-offs. There are still several of the players who are to sign but I do not anticipate any trouble with them. Charlie and I talked the maiter over and he promised to tliink the matter over during the week-end. I think he will see the matter in the right light and sign a contract." Theatre News BUT LET SUE TELL YOU ABOUT THIS TALKING BUSINESS Sue Carol, society debutante and daughter of wealthy Chicago par- ents, literally had her screen career handed to her on a silver platter, And then she dropped the platter, "All my life," said Miss Carol re- cently, "I have have done just as I wanted to," and everything seemed to come to me without effort. I took it all so much as a matter of course that I never thought of the possibility of having to work for anything, It was just too easy. "Even my trip to Hollywood which resulted in my first work in motion pictures was the result of a sudden whim, I had ho sooner ar- rived in the film capital than I met Nick Stuart--and I was glad that 1 had come, He and the casting di- rector of a motion picture studio urged me to take a film test, and.

This thrilling story of the re- generation of a man and woman, one crushed by bitter circum- stances, the other demoralized by wild . living, has Tallulah Bankhead and Fredric March in its leading roles. The story is filled with drama- tic incidents, Its vivid scenes reach from the tropical atmos- phere of Panama to the noise and hurry of sophisticated New York. A master hand has taken the theme and waven vigorous action into a thrilling drama that intrigues the imagination and grips the emotions. Paramount, realizing the rich possibilities of the story for pictured dramatics, selected the most gifted artists available in making up the cast. Tallulah Bankhead, vivacious, talented, and charming, with a record of stage successes in both America and England, and Fred- ric Mareh, rich in stage and cine- matic experience, share the stell- Ar honors in this production. Bankhead sprang into public favor when she "appeared in "Parnished Lady". She is a petite light blond, of magnetic person- ality and radiant charm. She has a rare gift for character imper- gsonation and a dramatic subtlety, March, puts into all his acting a dramatic vigor that carries audi- ences along with him, He is ver- satile and highly sentient to the dramatic possibilities of his roles, . The balance of the cas' is made up of stage favorites. Harry Davenport portrays an elderly business man. He is one of the oldest actors' of the American stage. He recently celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of his stage éarcer. Jay Fassett is a similar type, though younger. He is a finished actor, assaying roles that portray the social gentle- man or the business executive. Scott Kolk takes a prominent part in "My Sin," He sprang into screen prominence a few years ago and has risen rapidly. Mar- fan Davies discovered him and secured a part for him in *Mari- anna," his first picture. He has excellent features, screens well; and plays young men parts with vigor and understanding, Anne Suthetland, Margaret Adams, and Lily Cahill have all been drafted from the stage where their suc- cessful work attracted the at- tention of Paramount directors. "My Sin," Boris Karloff, who comes to the New Martin Theatre Saturday in one of the featured roles of Uni- versal's newspaper drama, "Graft" has many interests outside his screen work, being intensely inter- ested in books and bridge, an in- veterate player of golf and tennis, and maintaining a kennel of Scotch terriers. "Graft" are played by Regis Toom- ey, Sue Carol and Dorothy Revier. Sue Carol, who comes to the New Martin Theatre on Saturday in one of the principal roles of "Graft", Universal's sfirring drama of news- paper life, was in 1928 selected as one of the year's "Baby Stars" by the Wampas, the Hollywood asso- ciation ef publicity men which each year elects for this honor the 13 wirls in motion pictures who show greatest promise of future stardom. picture after picture, and my 'fan" mail grew and grew, To me these things seemed entirely natural, since all through my life I had been ac- customed to getting what I wanted, and totally without effort on my part, "Then came the talking pictures, Still 1 didn't sce any reason for making extra effort to retain the place 1 had gained though I-wasn't getting any engagements. I entirely lost sight of the fact that I had nev- er had any stage experience, and that I could neither sing nor dance. Other screen players were hasten- ing to teachers but 1 just didn't, that's all, "One day I suddenly realized that if I did not work strenuously for a place in talking pictures, I would not be in pictures at all, I immedi- ately made up my mind to go to work--and I did. I launched into an extended course of voice culture; I began to study singing and danc- ing. For the first time in my life I worked, What success I attain now will be really mine, "And now I feel that I am regain- ing my former place on the screen ladder, My feet are again on some- thing solid, and IT am happy. But it was a narrow escape." Miss Carol's latest appearance is in the leading feminine role oi "Graft", Universal's stirring news- paper drama which comes to the New Martin Theatre on Saturday with a cast which also includes Regis Toomey, Dorothy Revier, Boris Karloff, Richard Tucker and Carmelita Geraghty. ~~ W, Christy Kabaane directed the picture, Other important roles in. "MERELY MARY ANN" COMING WEDNESDAY SOLINA NEWS A brief but heaveniy happiness after a life of toil and misery-- love without riches, and then riches without love--and finally an ending as delightful as it 1s surprising--this Is the sort of role that the charming Janet (Gaynor presents to her millions of admirers in the Fox romance, "Merely Mary Ann," opening next Wednesday at the Regent theatre. Charles Farrell, doing the finest work of his career op- posite the dainty Titian-haired star--settings that are perfect copies of their British originals --an intensely human and vivid story--a notable supporting cast headed by Beryl Mercer and J.

"Merley Mary Ann", from Israel Zangwill's Jules Furtherman, is arousing much enthusiasm for its excep- tional entertainment qualities, play by adapted Young Lochinvar has come out of the West long enough to tell us the story of a caucus in a county seat in Jowa some 50 years ago.
